Binary Division = Really Easy - A series of divide by 2s - flip flops or
other similar circuit
Integer Division = Not quite as easy - Count pulses then turn on or off -
Easy to implement
Binary Multiplication = Not really easy, but doable - Multiply triangle
waves with precision rectifiers then convert to square waves
Integer Multiplication = Not impossible, but pretty stinkin hard - Only way
I can think of to do this aside from syncable VCOs is to use multiplication
scheme above and then divide using counters - this would still be an
approximation. i.e. 10 stages of multiplication divided by 341 would =
3.003x not 3.000x
